Prejudice
In A Lesson Before Dying, the lives of most of the characters is set, and not because of their own actions but rather because of what others expect of them. Most of those expectations and prejudices are based on race. But that's not the only factor driving the prejudice in this novel. There are other games in Prejudice Town: occupation, social status, and gender also come into play.
What Grant learns is that his prejudice about himself is what is holding him back, not necessarily other people's prejudices about him.
Grant has to fight his own prejudice toward Jefferson before he can ever begin to help him.
